Yesterday in San Francisco, the "Gran Turismo" racing game franchise held an all-day scavenger hunt in which 12 teams of two participated, ending in an all-out party where the winning team was announced. Dedicated gamers ran around the city, searching for Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Audis and Teslas at historic locations like the Golden Gate Bridge and the Painted Ladies Houses. The mini-"Amazing Race" event launched the "Gran Turismo 5" game.

^Ewwwwww

I hope GTA V has Model S and Roadster "inspired" electric vehicles (they don't do licensed cars for multiple reasons). It's not that it would really add anything special per se. It would just be kind of fun. and the GTA games are all about capturing (and satirizing) American culture, so I wouldn't be surprised if they turned up.

The Volt was in last year's Driver: San Fransisco. It was kind of fun to hear its non-ICE acceleration and see its accurate digital guages in first-person view, but it suck in practical gameplay terms. It had crappy acceleration and speed capabilities.
